THE official program for the 2024 Shepparton Festival, was revealed on Friday, February 23. Launching its 28th year, The Shepparton Festival will run April 5 to 21, offering 17 days of unique experiences in artistic expression.
Festival director Kristen Retallick highlighted some new offerings this year. Rather than setting up the festival hub in a building, Rhonda the Roving Festival Hub will be popping up around the region, providing an eye-catching way to book tickets and learn more about the festival.
“I’m very excited by our Call to Create solo exhibition, which will be displayed at GV Hospice. It’s a fairly new build and a new space so we’re keen to utilise it and welcome the community to see Shiro’s artworks during the festival,” Kristen said.
Amongst the line-up of performances, live music, exhibitions, workshops, and experiences, highlights include Opera and Ivory, a thrilling concert of opera, piano and cabaret, sung by international powerhouse, Allegra Giagu in collaboration with multiple ARIA award-winning Australian pianist, Sally Whitwell; An Item of Connection, an exhibition telling local stories a year on from the 2022 flood event; Tomorrow is a Brand New Day bringing Orchestra Victoria to Tatura Library for the kids.
